I need to print something in TPU filament so I made this filament storage container out of a cereal storage box. The filament can be printed with the roll staying in the container. The basket looking thing holds the desiccant.

It's not my design, I saw it on a YouTube video.

The height is close but there's plenty of sideways clearance for different widths of spools.

Do you have a dryer or do you just use the desiccant in the storage container?

I have a dryer so I'll dry the filament and then put it in the storage container.
